Minneapolis winter!






Well people here say you will either like minneapolis winter or you don't.Its almost the fag end of winter here and surprisingly i haven't taken much snaps of the snow here considering i was having fun here in winter all the time. Most people(read indians) dont like the winter here because its too very cold,they are intially excited when they see snow for the first time and then they are cooped up in the house for 4 months and crib about what a dastardly place this is. For me,its different,i absolutely began to love minneapolis winters and just love nature in this different setting.Its white every where and you can go skiing and ice skating both of which i learnt during this winter.You can build snowmen and have snowball fights,also i used to take walks in the evening in a whopping -30 C here.The lakes are forzen and you can walk around on them,there is a huge lake called calhoun near my house its 5 -6 times lake ulsoor or sankey in Bangalore and can you imagine the whole lake is frozen and people do ice skating,ice fishing,ice surfing(surf board and a parachute attached),on the same lake during summer i did kayaking,canoeing and people do wind surfing and normal fishing!!

We had a snow blizzard today and i went around my apartment clicking some snaps as i have hardly taken any during winter.Actually now summer is setting in and most of the snow had melted ,till today.This was a sudden snow blizzard .Minneapolis is mostly like this from December till march beginning completely covered with snow everywhere!


Here is the link to the snaps which i went clicking around my apartment.
